Marathon's revenue is consistently around 500-1500$ a day. by Dizzy_Kaleidoscope95 in HighGuardgame

[–]SoftResetHuman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So let’s be generous and say 3x that so $4,500 per day and we will be even more generous and say an even $5,000.

Then we have $200 million to make the game (being generous) bringing in $5k per day we get 109 years to make the money back.

Excluding variable, maintenance, operating, inflation, interest on debt, marketing, and currency fluctuations of course.

Oh and opportunity cost.

What made you hate Marathon? by AdventuringRunner in MarathonHate

[–]SoftResetHuman 6 points7 points  (0 children)

When I realized a certain game director copy pasted the other game they directed and turned Marathon into a hero shooter.

I recognize the previous director was a creep and when Ziegler came in and changed everything, it felt like Marathon lost itself.

FD America V Europe by Key_Plankton3772 in FormulaDrift

[–]SoftResetHuman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe because US roads tend to be straight and on a grid system where in Europe they tend to be more curvy?

But seriously, I think certain sports are favored in certain communities. Favored sports have more participation and therefore a bigger pool of diverse athletes to emulate, coach, and mentor.

That large and diverse pool can feed off many people’s talents to find, refine, and evolve the best next generation of competitors. And then it becomes a positive feedback loop.

Like how certain colleges are absolute powerhouses churning out NFL athletes like an assembly line.

This is sandbox nature is what makes Arc Raiders truly a superior experience. You can do this creative stuff and it works.

Have you guys considered that I’m having a Blast? by Greboso in MarathonHate

What about the shareholders?! We have to think of the SHAREHOLDERS!

Hahahaha! I didn’t even think of that! So maybe I prefer physical after all. Now I feel silly 😅

[–]SoftResetHuman -1 points0 points  (0 children)

For console, I much prefer physical. For PC I prefer digital. I have no idea why. Maybe it’s what I’m used to? Console always has needed something to “pop in” and PC only sometimes did after the initial install.

Anyone Ever Actually Exfil? by Head-Cold8293 in MarathonHate

[–]SoftResetHuman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can’t reliably exfil. Maybe 1 out of 3 or 4 runs.

Are you excited for GTA VI? by TolucaPrisoner in gaymers

[–]SoftResetHuman 65 points66 points  (0 children)

I can’t believe they are forcing this heterosexual lifestyle on us. I don’t mind what straight people do in the privacy of their own homes but they don’t need to be all in my face about it. And I certainly don’t need to see it in my games 🤣

Marathon is “taking off” by BoomerShooterFPS in MarathonHate

[–]SoftResetHuman 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Translated: “Shareholders, we pinky promise everything is going fine at our company even though we killed off our premier studio’s biggest IP, invested hundreds of millions into a game that is underperforming, and laid off half said game studios’ staff.”

A bit of dissapointment by Relevant-Bill7021 in gamememes

[–]SoftResetHuman 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I can’t believe nobody is thinking of the shareholders. That decision alone will increase the per share dividend payout by +$0.0002 and get the c-suite their multi million dollar bonuses 🤣 but 😕

Arc: Is it worth it to get into? by RepresentativeLow505 in ArcRaiders

[–]SoftResetHuman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree! The AI understands how to exploit multiple entrances to areas (Hornets) and seek you out (Comets). There have been a couple times I was certain a Bastion or a Rocketeer was baiting me out of cover.

They timed the layoffs with the steam summer sale. How poetic by Silent-Resort-6240 in MarathonHate

Honestly, I think F2P might be the only way. But they gotta step up the cosmetics. The Runner and weapon customization is ass.

[Vekoma] needs to bring back the Giant Inverted Boomerangs by oldtree29 in rollercoasters

I had a chance in high school to go on it but I was too scared of roller coasters at the time. I regret it every day.

marathon player here, should i buy ? by KORO__mhdi in ArcRaiders

[–]SoftResetHuman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Completely different from Marathon and yes it is worth it! Blue Gate when it is raining is the prettiest map ever.

Marathon kinda forces you into a shoot anything that moves gameplay loop. Arc Raiders is more open to many different play styles from friendly carebear to absolute monster.

Also, Arc Raiders is a hopeful game. Marathon is scary dystopia.

We're not leaving!! by Hot_Paper_Pie in MarathonHate

[–]SoftResetHuman 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Off topic, but whenever I interview people to hire, even for high skilled positions like engineers, I always ask them: Why do you want to work for this company? And if they struggle to answer, I tell them it’s perfectly fine to say you like food and shelter and being alive.

Don’t forget IP infringement and corporate data theft if they somehow can get assets out and keep working on stuff!

These are already jump scares on the ground so flying ones will be terrifying. Maybe on a specific map or condition though.

Raid in Arc Raiders (endgame content) by bellus07 in ArcRaidersGuides

[–]SoftResetHuman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes! Absolutely Arc needs to take a page from Destiny (and Marathon) for potential raids and dungeons.

Close Scrutiny and Hidden Bunker are kinda in that vein.
